Terrazza Palestro, Rooftop terrace bar in central Milan, Italy.
Terrazza Palestro is a rooftop terrace on the fourth floor of the Swiss Center that offers an open outdoor area with garden furniture, seating zones, and dining tables. From here, guests can look out over Indro Montanelli Park and the surrounding city.
This venue was established as part of the Swiss Center's cultural initiatives in Milan and has developed over the decades into a favored meeting point. The rooftop was created to honor and celebrate connections between Italian and Swiss cultures.
The venue reflects how Milanese people enjoy gathering in open spaces, blending Italian traditions of socializing with contemporary comfort. Visitors experience the local custom of aperitif time, when locals come together to unwind and chat.
